I may not know how Tuesday will pan out, but I secretly came across this footage at the Downtown Atlanta Hilton on Tuesday night after the MEC passes the TA....
Don't ask my source, but it's beyond credible.
I've gotta say, Sharpest has some moves.

First off I'm not generally in favor of trading away profit sharing. I see it as good for the company and the employees.
However looking at the alternative and considering the history of this industries profits and the threats against us is there a value in monetizing profit sharing while we are making huge profits? Locking in the gains so to speak?

Neither him or army 80 come off as pilots in this go around. There really are cubicle dwellers working against the pilots...I never thought I would say something that sounds like that, but they offer nothing but diminished expectations and fear, uncertainty, doubt. I have personally switched them off.
Scambo,
I'm really a pilot.
Using the C1 "shopping cart" analogy do you think:
1. We should vote no if their cart has more than our cart?
2. We should vote no if their cart and our cart are about equally full?
3. We should vote no if their cart has less than our cart?
4. If their cart has anything in it?
Many seem to think that it's an automatic NO vote if it's #4. I don't see that as a realistic bargaining strategy.
Winding the clock and possibly going back to square one is a course of action that warrants exploration.
However, if you believe that any deal we get HAS to have an empty company cart, I'm not with you.
Not real excited about the deal, if the rumors are true.
Fly safe.

Serious question:
Would you trade 10% lower payrates for 10% higher profit sharing?
I certainly wouldn't.
So why the angst over a "rumor" of the converse? How did profit sharing become some sacred cow, when for many years on many properties it was worthless? Shoot, I recall the derision when it was negotiated in the first place.
I'm all for keeping the top end of profit sharing. It protects us from looking like schmucks if the company is wildly successful. But why wouldn't I trade some of the bottom end? It's a defined number. Give it to me in my payrates.
It seems many here are making the mistake of believing these good times will last forever.
I'm all for exchanging a "probably" dollar tomorrow for a "definitely" dollar today.

Just remember this everyone. 11 years ago, yes 11 years ago, The MD-11 Hourly rate was $318 an Hour. With 1-2% inflation, that number is much higher. $360.00? With Delta then making much less Revenue, and an A-plan.
So please for the rest of us, don't settle for crumbs.
